DEPRESTON

words & lyrics: Courtney Barnett

You said we should look out further,

I guess it wouldn’t hurt us.

We don’t have to be around all these coffee shops.

Now we’ve got that percolator,

never made a latte greater.

I’m saving twenty-three dollars a week.

We drive to a house in Preston,

we see police arresting

a man with his hand in a bag.

How’s that for first impressions?

This place seems depressing.

It’s a “Californian bungalow in a cul-de-sac”.

It’s got a lovely garden,

a garage for two cars to park in

(“or a lot of room for storage if you’ve just got one”).

And it’s going pretty cheap you say?

“Well it’s a deceased estate…

aren’t the pressed metal ceilings great?”

Then I see the handrails in the shower,

a collection of those canisters for coffee, tea and flour,

and a photo of a young man in a van in Vietnam.

And I can’t think of floorboards anymore,

whether the front room faces south or north,

and I wonder what she bought it for.

(If you’ve got a spare half a million, you should knock it down and start rebuilding)
